On Being Sick (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey Friends,In truth, none of us enjoy being sick, not really, not completely. But there are some perks. As a kid, terrified to stand in front of the class for a book report or whatever, my body would break out in hives and I’d develop all sorts of flu symptoms, anything to avoid having to show up. My mother, a school teacher, needed us to be nearly dead before we could stay home from school. My aunt was a nurse and plied my mother with packages of antibiotic samples. My mother would give me one
Letting Go––what we can let go of (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey Friends, So happy to have you with me.The trees don’t hold onto their leaves out of nostalgia. They let go because holding on all winter would cost them more than releasing does. I don’t know about you, but at times I can hoard old things. Not in my house, I’m good at throwing things away, but inside myself. Boy, do I hold on.Fall comes around, and though I could easily be a grandmother by now, I still get that September-start-of-school feeling. The Jewish New Year, a new harvest, all get me
Dolly and Me and The Way In (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hey Friends, This post is a mix of reflection on Dolly and more. Love to hear your thoughts.I’ve always been a fan of Dolly Parton. I still sometimes sing Jolene as part of my repertoire, and do a decent cover, even putting on a Tennessee lilt.

I was with a friend who adored every minute, but it left me cold. I felt she’d become more a pe
Feel Free to Hum (opens the original)
Read excerpt
“Cacao opens and releases the throat chakra,” the leader of the 5-rhythms Heart Wave retreat here in Croatia told us. “So,” she added, “feel free to hum.” The look on my face, if anyone was looking, must have been of utter joy. I had been sneaking in sound during the whole workshop, fearing the shut-up that usually never comes. When sound arrives in me at these dance events, it’s so genuine and undominated that it’s usually no problem, even welcomed by those who secretly want to make sounds too.
The Lost Art of Asking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My mind is all over the place as I write these notes for my next Substack. I’m surely ADHD like the rest of the world by now.So many impulses coming at us, so many things to attend to. All this online living was supposed to make our lives easier, and instead I seem to have the attention span of a mosquito. I start one thing, get sidetracked, remember something else I need to do, walk into another room and forget why I’m there.We’ve never had more tools and apps to organize our lives, and yet sta
